Event deposits in lake sediments provide invaluable chronicles of geodynamic and climatic
natural hazards on multi-millennial timescales. Sediment archives are particularly useful for …

Central Switzerland lies tectonically in an intraplate area and recurrence rates of strong
earthquakes exceed the time span covered by historic chronicles. However, many lakes are …

Eastern Indonesia is the site of intense deformation related to convergence between
Australia, Eurasia, the Pacific and the Philippine Sea Plate. Our analysis of the tectonic …

Sinkholes usually have a higher probability of occurrence and a greater genetic diversity in
evaporite terrains than in carbonate karst areas. This is because evaporites have a higher …

The historical records of earthquakes play a vital role in seismic hazard and risk
assessment. During the last decade, geophysical, geotechnical, geochemical …

We identify evidence for three large paleo-earthquakes in central Switzerland with moment
magnitudes (M> 6.5–7.0) significantly exceeding historically known values. These …

Abstract Two earthquakes (ML 5.1 and 5.8) ruptured branches of the Yangsan Fault System
in Gyeongju, S. Korea on September 12, 2016. After the ML 5.8 earthquake, aftershock …

In this paper, evidence of paleoearthquake-induced soft-sediment deformation structures
associated with the Magallanes–Fagnano Fault System in the Isla Grande de Tierra del …

Seismic hazard assessment is a critical but challenging issue for modern societies. A key
parameter to be estimated is the recurrence interval of damaging earthquakes. This requires …

In regions with moderate seismicity and large intervals between strong earthquakes,
paleoseismological archives that exceed the historical and instrumental timescale are …
